Hudson Valley Car Dealership Manager Stole Over $230,000 in Parts

A Hudson Valley car dealership manager stole parts from his employer and sold them online.

Recently in Westchester County Court, 49-year-old John Labarbera of Poughquag pleaded guilty to grand larceny.

During a nearly four-year period, from May 2011 until March 2015, Labarbera stole parts from the Curry Acura dealership in the Town of Greenburg and sold them for profit, officials say. At the time Labarbera was a parts manager at the dealership.

He manipulated the inventory and accounting system of the dealership to cover up his crimes.

According to his plea agreement, if Labarbera provides $60,658.63 by sentencing he will get one year in the Westchester County Jail with a Judgment and Order of Restitution of $115,658.63 for the remaining amount of the larceny.

He already paid $55,000 in restitution.

If Labarbera doesn’t provide $60,658.63 by sentencing he will receive one to three years in state prison.
